Not sure what you mean: there have, to-date, been no repercussions for Boeing! They're getting away with all kinds of shit here!

In an ideal world, companies with a massive safety-related function should have Warhammer 40k gun servitors hovering over the execs in the event they cut corners on safety with orders to empty the clip!

Boeing are really a gov extension these days from what I can see.




I wouldn't say they haven't had any repercussions. The whole 737 Max debacle cost them an estimated $20 billion (https://web.archive.org/web/20201221001329/https://www.cnn.c...).

But I do agree that overall there needs to be more repercussions. Unfortunately they are a "too big to fail" kind of company considering how critical they are to the aviation industry as a whole.

Clips help fill internal magazines on older weapons. A servitor drone would have a magazine.

Just being pendantic but I think you'd want "dump a mag into c-suite executives found guilty of corruption in safety critical industries." I'd also say since we don't currently have servitor drones we may have to do it ourselves.

In an ideal world of course.


In an ideal 40k world, the c-suite would already have been lobotomized into servitors to serve penance for tech heresy.


I vote for the servitors. Either that or an arco-flagellant on quick dispatch for the entire room.

That aside, yes, Boeing and in EU Airbus are very much intertwined with government. It's inevitable when their products are strategically important and barriers to entry high. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.


Better to lobotomize the entire c-suite into servitors for tech heresy.


For the military boeing is too big to fail.
